Sparks - Confusion lyrics

I'm going back to see my girl I hope it's all the same as then I'm going back to see my girl I hope it's all the same as then Confusion, pardon the intrusion This must not be the room I was in the other night Confusion, an optical illusion, you see, you see The number's the same as then The color's the same as then But something just isn't really right Retrace your steps and see what happens, happens Right from the doorway to your home Back to your lonely room with only confusion Was that her (yes, yes it was) Was that him (yeah, yeah it was) The girl was familiar but he wasn't me, no Confusion, you think you know where you stand But you're not even standing, you're flat on shaky ground No clue then, and everything you knew then Was only true in specialized cases, yes, in specialized cases But in your case it wasn't true at all Retrace your steps and see what happens, happens Back to the day when you were born Father and mother were just pictures, photos The color was (the same as yours) The surname (same as yours) But you got the feeling, the feeling, the feeling Confusion, la de da Confusion, oh pardon me Confusion, la tati It's lovely sitting next to you There's no one within miles of you It's lovely sitting next to you There's no one within miles of you Confusion, you think you know where you stand But you're not even standing, you're flat on shaky ground No clue then, and everything you knew then Was only true in specialized cases, yes, in specialized cases But in your case, in your case It wasn't the case, not at all
